Dynare forums

is there any examples on where to put markov_switching, ms_estimation command into the mod file?

i am trying to estimate a Markov-switching SBVAR model on taylor rule. But do not know where to put SBVAR command.

the wrong information is:

ERROR: gali_regime.mod: line 142, cols 62-70: syntax error, unexpected NAME, expecting RESTRICTIONS or CHAIN or DURATION or NUMBER_OF_REGIMES

Error using dynare (line 174)
DYNARE: preprocessing failed

You are confusing something. Dynare does not support Markov-Switching DSGE models yet. It only support SBVARs. You may want to take a look at Junior Maih's RISE toolbox.

Thank you for your instruction.

I am trying the rise box examples on Markov Switching and got some wrong information. Could you pls. help me to fix this problem?

thanks!

Sorry, but we only provide support for Dynare. You have to contact Junior Maih, the developer of RISE.
